This study shows Mtb induces PPARγ in hepatocytes to create lipid droplets and drug-tolerant environments, contributing to systemic pathogenicity and metabolic impairments during TB infection.

The paper uses whole exome sequencing to show lower somatic mutation burden in vitiligo lesions, linked to reduced non-melanoma skin cancer risk through enhanced DNA repair.

This study identifies H2a.z.2 as a histone variant that biases neural crest cells toward the melanocyte lineage by enhancing Mitf promoter activation.
